IGN's Best of 2013 Wiki Guide

Best Xbox 360 Action-Adventure Game

With its Tomb Raider reboot, Crystal Dynamics did much more than just put Lara Croft back on the map - it delivered the best action-adventure game to grace the Xbox 360 in all of 2013. It’s chock-full of inventive and fun action setpieces, but it also delivers plenty of clever exploration and non-linear traversal puzzles. After fighting your way through enough murderous bands of mercenaries, you’re rewarded with a new tool or ability that further opens up previously visited areas. Combine this great gameplay combination with a spooky central story set on a mysterious island and a young, inexperienced heroine, and you end up with one of 2013’s best.
